User reviews

Users appreciate that the extension brings Firefox-like table range selection to Chrome, with ease of use and support for various selection modes, including individual cells. However, many report significant limitations: inability to auto-scroll during selection, inconsistent copying especially on some sites like phpMyAdmin, and formatting issues upon paste. There are also occasional bugs introducing unwanted content and lack of confirmation feedback, reducing reliability. Despite these, it remains a useful tool for users needing advanced table selection in Chrome.

Pros

Effectively replicates Firefox's table range selection feature, allowing users to select multiple cells and ranges.
Works well across different platforms, including MacOS (with specified keyboard shortcuts).
Easy to use and straightforward, providing a much-needed capability in Chrome.
Supports selecting individual and multiple cells with keyboard modifiers (e.g., Alt+Click, Ctrl+Click).

Cons

Does not support automatic scrolling while selecting ranges that extend beyond the visible frame, unlike Firefox.
Sometimes fails to copy selections correctly, either not copying at all or pasting with loss of formatting (e.g., no line breaks).
Issues with certain sites like phpMyAdmin where selection gets offset or broken.
Bug where copied content may include unwanted 'javascript-event-stripped' entries, causing errors.
Lacks user feedback upon successful copy (no confirmation).

Recent reviews

Seems to be broken with phpMyAdmin. Used to work. when trying to select the first row, it gets the header and its offset to a later column also.
